We are still a few weeks out from the official start of Winter but the snow has started to fall so it’s a perfect time to look at what to expect from the Winter in Sudbury.

Senior climotologist with Environment Canada, Dave Phillips says we could see a slightly above average Winter in terms of snow fall and that usually happens when it is warmer.

But Phillips says this has been one of the hardest Winters to predict in some time.

He did have some good news for those who are already counting the days to Christmas.

Phillips says if predictions are right, it will make for a nice Winter for outdoor activities.
